"10k gold is the lowest classification of jewelry that can still be legally called "gold&quot..."

There is no "kh" abbreviation in jewelry. If you came across something similar to that, most likely it was "10 k," or "10 karats". The karat system refers to how much pure, liquid gold is inside a piece of jewelry. The higher the karat of the jewelry, the higher the amount of gold in it. 24 karat (24K) jewelry is made of pure gold, while 10 karat (10K) jewelry is made of 10 parts gold and 14 parts other metals. 10K gold is the lowest classification of jewelry that can still be legally called "gold" in the U.S.

Hi there! Usually the measurement for gold is Karat which is engraved as the small letter "k". Another measurement is in kilograms, which is known for short as "kg". But with my research, the acronyms K-H is short for Kelly Herd, the "original designer of fine western jewelry". However, in her website, you`ll see that her white gold rings are measured in 14k. Hope it helps.

"The gold stamp 10k means that the gold is 41.7% pure gold and 58.3%..."

Hi, The gold stamp 10K means that the gold is 41.7% pure gold and 58.3% other alloys such as copper, silver and nickel. These alloys are mixed in with the pure 24K gold to strengthen it, as 24K is considered too soft for every day wear and will bend and scratch easily. 10K gold is the lowest purity that can legally be called gold in the US, however it is a beautiful and durable alternative to more expensive 14K and 18K gold jewelry. The higher content of other alloys like silver strengthen 10K gold so that it is the hardest of all the gold types and will resist scratching longer than both 14K and 18K (but it will still scratch- all metals scratch when in contact with an abrasive surface).

10K gold will be somewhat paler in color than both 14K and 18K. Pure 24K gold is often considered too saturated or “orangey” in color, so mixing it will alloys also makes the color more attractive to the average person. If it is 10K white gold, keep in mind that you will need to rhodium plate your ring once a year to once every 2 years to retain that icy white color. Rhodium plating is a white metal plating that is used to boost the white color of 10k, 14k and 18k white gold rings; rhodium plating is considered standard practice amongst jewelers.

Below are all the standard gold alloy karat marks that you should be able to find on any item of fine jewelry. The US marks us the ‘K’ to denote karat; UK and European jewelry will often feature the gold’s purity percentage to describe the karat. However, due to the internet, jewelry is often sourced from all over the world, seeing the numerical percentage rate inscribed on the inside of a ring or on a piece of jewelry will become more and more common.

It is hard to tell if it is gold or silver or other type of metal. The best way is to bring it to a jeweler. Does the ring look faded? or got slightly darkened? Most likely when the ring darkened due to exposure with air, sure thing your ring is silver. Because when gold faded it`s plating, it will come back to it`s natural color which is yellowish. Because gold is naturally yellow. If it is high in purity the yellower it will be.
I suggest that you should bring it to a jeweler to have a look on it and appraise it.
Hope it helps!

Someone said: I have a ring that looks bright gold don`t know if real has like a blue sapphire in middle with little diamonds around outside of it inside the band has a k with a circle around it. Anu ideas

I forgot to tell you that the c2 that was stamped inide your ring might be because of the cubic zirconium. Do you have a stone on your ring? It is CZ is a cubic zirconia it`s a type of Zircon stone it`s used to imitate diamonds in silver and cheap gold jewellery. It might not hold a great value but it has all the sparkle.

That should be the stone weight or the total weight of ring... i believe if i`m not mistaken.. sometimes that will also incluse the jewelers logo inside the band... often time with a trade mark.... 18k white is generally paladium, i`m not sure what it`s under neath.

The number 10 means the size , and NV stands for Nevada silver mines.
It`s definitely silver if 925 is written before it.Others have said it could be silver from England and NV stands for Jewelers trademark.
hope you got what you wanted.
